A/C compressor
Is it possible to remove this, and then get a smaller belt and put onto all other pulleys? PO removed a/c lines, and I don't plan on putting them back in.
I'm kinda worried that it would throw off timing possibly? also I know they have the belt going around all the pulleys in a certain order to keep everything running right. Not really needed, but I wanted to know if it could be done, and if anyone has done it...

x2 on what Finneys said. Thats what i did to mine.
The serp belt has nothing to do with your ignition timing. hit up the junkyard and find a XJ that doesn't have A/c and grab the bracket and Idler pulley where the A/c compressor would be. Thus the serp belt will retain the proper routing

does your fan shroud show 2 different diagrams for routing of the serp. belt? one for a/c, the other without? if so, yes you can.

Thanks for the quick answers guys. Is there a write up about converting to an air compressor? I think that is a really cool idea, but I would be clueless on how to do it.
